Join our Client Services Governance Committee as a co-opted member
At Crisis we are privileged to support people out of homelessness and campaign for the changes needed to solve it altogether, whether through direct services or our leading-edge research and influencing work in England, Scotland, and Wales.
As we embark on the delivery of our new 10-year strategy, we are looking for a new co-opted member that can and add to the skills of a high-performing sub-committee of our Board of Trustees.
This is an excellent opportunity to contribute your expertise; by providing strategic insight and guidance on the safe, inclusive, equitable and impactful services we provide our members to help them out of homelessness.
We are looking for people that:
· Care deeply about improving systems and services and ending homelessness
· Have skills and experience in service delivery and/or service design
· Communicate clearly and can work well with others — including trustees, staff and members
If this sounds like you, we look forward to hearing from you. You do not need previous board experience. We will support you to develop the skills and confidence needed for the role.
What matters most is your commitment, your perspective, and your willingness to help us make good decisions.
To apply, please submit any of the following:
· A short expression of interest (max. 500 words) explaining why you want to join and what skills you bring (with or without current CV)
Or
· Audio/video format application (max. 3-4 minutes)
To understand more about the role, please get in touch if you would like an informal conversation beforehand.
Applications should be submited via email by Thursday 25 June 2026.
Shortlisted candidate will be invited to an informal group discussion/scenario situation with Chair of the Committee, Executive Director of Client Services, and an Expert by Experience, which will take place on Thursday 2 July, online.
Formal appointment will then be made by the Crisis Board in July with the first Committee meeting in August 2026.
About Us
Crisis is here to end homelessness for good. Over the next ten years, our aim is to:
1. We’ll campaign across England, Scotland, and Wales to push for the policies needed to end homelessness. We’ll also challenge unfair treatment and harmful stereotypes about people who are homeless.
2. We’ll open a network of Crisis Centres across the UK. Each Centre will offer high‑quality support to people who need it and create a plan to end homelessness in the local area. We’ll also provide more than 1,000 homes for our members by launching a new housing company that shows how giving people a stable home first can end homelessness.
3. We’ll bring people from all over Britain together to help—landlords, employers, teachers, healthcare workers, and anyone else who wants to make a difference. Everyone has a role to play in ending homelessness
About the Client Services Governance Committee:
· The committee is made up of 3x Trustees and an Expert by Experience who has previous lived experience of homelessness; there is currently no member involvement on the committee
· Makes sure Crisis’ services are delivered safely, professionally, and to a high standard, and giving the Board confidence that this is happening.
· Oversees safeguarding across all Client Services, and helping to build a culture where safety, awareness, and the wellbeing of everyone who comes into contact with Crisis, are top priorities.
· Provides a space to review and challenge how Client Services are governed — including how incidents and complaints are handled.
About the Role of co-opted member:
- Reporting to: Chair of Committee
- Term: 3 years, with potential for re-appointment for a second term
- Commitment: Attending and actively taking part in the Client Services Governance Committee meetings — usually five times a year and typically held online.
- Remuneration: Reimbursement of travel, childcare and other agreed costs (although co-optee roles are voluntary and generally unpaid)
Purpose of the role:
· To work collaboratively with trustees, senior leadership and Experts by Experience to strengthen the impact of Crisis services
· To help guide the big decisions about member services and ensuring members have safe, positive experiences — keeping Crisis focused on its mission to end homelessness.
· To support the committee in understanding how well Crisis’ services are working and helping to make sure standards and legal requirements are consistently met.
· To review reports about risks, complaints, incidents, and safeguarding issues that affect members.
· To oversee the delivery of impactful and effective tenancy support for Crisis’ new work in housing supply and the development of Crisis Centres.
· To offer insight into what good member support looks like, sharing perspectives on member experiences, and highlighting best practice to inform decisions.
Person Specification:
· Experience in design and best practice in delivery of services to disadvantaged groups
· Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with trustees, staff, and external stakeholders
· Someone who can take part in respectful discussions, ask thoughtful questions and help us make balanced decisions as part of a team
· A commitment to get to know Crisis, including our mission, values and aims, prepare for and attend meetings, engage and contribute
· Awareness of charity governance or a willingness to learn more
The personal styles and behaviours that work best for Crisis:
· Our Board and committees are friendly and supportive, and we are looking for people who listen actively and respect different opinions
· We need people who can ask tough questions, solve problems and make decisions based on evidence
· You should believe that homelessness can be ended and be ready to challenge the idea that it’s something we just have to accept
· You’ll be committed to equity, diversity and inclusion, and help make sure these values are embedded in our culture and in everything Crisis does
· You’ll set a positive example through your behaviour, your values, and the way you work with others

Why volunteer with Shelter Scotland?
Home is a human right. It's our foundation and it's where we thrive. Yet, every day millions of people are being devastated by the housing emergency.
We exist to defend the right to a safe home. Because home is everything.
We’re passionate about what we do, and love giving second-hand clothing a chance of going to a good home. Our shop teams ensure fighting the housing emergency never felt so fun.
What can I do?
After you’ve filled in an application, we will invite you for an informal chat to find the right role for you. Some roles involve a basic criminal record check being completed during recruitment. Having a criminal record does not mean that you cannot volunteer with us, but it may impact the ways you can get involved.
- Volunteering in the shop
Our retail volunteers are in the middle of it all, and there’s plenty to get involved with. You might be sorting stock, engaging with customers, ringing items through the till, creating fantastic window displays or keeping our shop floor looking organised.
- You will not undergo a criminal record check for this role
- Volunteering in a leadership role
Our volunteer supervisors help with overseeing the running of our shop and creating a fantastic environment for our customers. You may be involved with coordinating and supporting other volunteers, operating computer systems, and being a key point of contact for the shop.
Skills and Experiences Required:
We welcome applications from people with a wide range of skills and experiences. You don’t need to have volunteered or worked in a shop before as full training will be provided. What’s important to us is that you are a team player, open to learning and willing to follow Shelter Scotland’s policies and can be an excellent ambassador for Shelter Scotland. We particularly welcome applications from people with lived experience of bad housing or homelessness.
Induction, Learning and Development:
To enable you to take part in this opportunity Shelter Scotland will:
- Welcome you with a Volunteer Handbook
- Provide training, induction, and ongoing support from your Shop Manager to help you feel confident in your role
- Refund any out-of-pocket expenses in line with Shelter Scotland’s volunteer expenses policy

Living With Hope CIC is seeking a strong Partnerships & Referral Lead to help build meaningful relationships with charities, funders, community organisations, referral partners and aligned service providers.
We provide safe accommodation and structured support for individuals escaping or recovering from domestic abuse. Our mission is to restore stability, dignity and opportunity.

The role will involve:
- Identifying charities, community organisations and referral partners aligned with our mission
- Helping build relationships with domestic abuse services, faith groups, funders and support organisations

- Helping create partnership packs, outreach messages and collaboration proposals
- Supporting introductions to relevant organisations and stakeholders
- Helping identify grant, sponsorship and funding opportunities
- Ensuring partnership activity leads to measurable outcomes such as referrals, funding, credibility or service growth
- Strengthening the organisation’s reputation within the voluntary, community and social impact sector
We are especially interested in someone with experience in one or more of the following areas:
- Charity partnerships or community engagement
- Domestic abuse, homelessness, housing or victim support services
- Grant funding, fundraising or philanthropy
- Faith-based or community-led support networks
- Referral pathway development
- Social enterprise, CIC or voluntary sector growth
- Relationship management with funders, charities or public sector partners
This position is currently voluntary, but it is designed for someone who wants to help build real partnerships that create impact, income and long-term organisational value.
Expected commitment: approximately 1 board meeting per month, plus partnership-related input where required.
If you understand partnerships, referrals, funding routes and the power of the right relationships, we would welcome a conversation.

Job Description:
Housing & Property Compliance Lead — Living With Hope CIC
Living With Hope CIC is seeking a capable Housing & Property Compliance Lead to support the organisation’s accommodation standards, property readiness and housing compliance.
We provide safe accommodation and structured support for individuals escaping or recovering from domestic abuse. Our mission is to restore stability, dignity and opportunity.
This is not a passive advisory role.
We are looking for someone who understands housing, property standards and compliance, and can help ensure our accommodation is safe, presentable, properly managed and credible to councils, commissioners, funders and referral partners.
The role will involve:
- Supporting property compliance across our accommodation portfolio
- Reviewing housing standards, property readiness and inspection processes
- Helping strengthen fire safety, HMO, maintenance and compliance evidence
- Supporting SEA/Housing Benefit credibility from a property standards perspective
- Helping create a clear property readiness checklist for new accommodation
- Reviewing property risks before they become operational or reputational issues
- Supporting documentation, reports and evidence packs for councils and stakeholders
- Ensuring our housing standards support resident safety, commissioner confidence and long-term growth
We are especially interested in someone with experience in one or more of the following areas:
- Supported accommodation
- HMO management or housing compliance
- Property management or lettings
- Environmental health, housing standards or inspections
- Fire safety, maintenance or facilities management
- Housing Benefit, SEA or local authority accommodation standards
- Property operations within a charity, CIC, housing provider or social enterprise
This position is currently voluntary, but it is designed for someone who wants to help build a credible, high-standard housing model that can scale.
Expected commitment: approximately 1 board meeting per month, plus property compliance input where required.
If you understand housing standards, compliance and the importance of getting accommodation right, we would welcome a conversation.
